Wise words from the Psalms

Psalm 24

'1.The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it;

2. for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

3.Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

4.He who had clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.

5.He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior.

6.Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah'

NIV

My Morning Latte

Although it is almost iced tea time instead of my morning latte' (so sorry, had to get the kids off to their first day of school and recover with a very big cup of coffee)

The local morning headlines:

• Summer passes without reaching 90 degrees but it sure feels like it today.
• It would seem as though the New Berlin fire department needs a new accountant. New Berlin to pay Fire Department wages with contingency funds
• Attendees rave about Waukesha Harley party; organizers say expectations surpassed. I for one had a great time.
• Thompson and Lieberman to speak at GOP convention
• It looks like the free clinic is moving: Gala planned to benefit Lake Area Free Clinic and by the way, have you seen the construction site of the new hospital on 94 & 67? The brick is up and it's beginning to look very hospital-ish.
• City benefits from new library funding plan : Fabulous!!!
• New hearing scheduled for grassroots leader - Man who wanted to save Midwest became indigent
• An almost 2 million dollar project put on hold. I hope the rain doesn't hold off. Town Hall/firehouse project put on hold - Economy, time cited in postponing building project
• $10.8 Million wait for Doyle's approval Rainbow Springs property awaiting governor’s approval

Let's give em something to talk about.

Sarah & Todd's 17 year old daughter Bristol Palin is 5 months pregnant. The announcement was made today in an effort to ward off the rumor mill.

Bristol is planning on having this child, (thank God!) and is planning on getting married to the father of the child, Levi.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates,"

This was not a surprise to the McCain campaign officials. They decided to announce the pregnancy right away due to many of the liberal blogs having a field day. Their stories have been an attempt to destroy the McCain/Palin campaign in typical dirty politics.

Palin has given the republican party a fresh breath of hope. According to Gallup Daily, Obama's lead over McCain has slightly narrowed from 8% to 6%. The latest Gallup poll, out today shows the 48% to 42% picks.
She sure is given them something to talk about.

about Sarah Palin

I always find it amazing how many people enter into the Autumn of election years not knowing the candidates. I mean more than 'bad media' or negative advertising. What do they stand for? How do they vote? and How does their stands measure up to what is important to the voter?

I hope this helps.

What a day

I returned to Harley Fest again yesterday. We couldn't get over what fantastic weather we had. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Did you get a chance to walk the streets and peek at some of those bikes? Now I'm not a biker, but WOW. There were some awesome bikes.

The Guess Who was fantastic! They came out for an encore which had the crowd roaring. No fancy lights, gimmicks, fireworks, costumes, just great music on a great afternoon.

From where I sit, the event went off really well. Great job to those involved.
